MLive Game of the Week: Every game has a story line in our highlighted Week 8 games tonight

Here is how the numbers break down for MLive Games of the Week for Week 8 in 10 regions around Michigan:

- Undefeated football teams: 7

- Playoff bubble teams: 4

- League races at stake: 3

- Six-win teams: 3

- Bitter rivalries: 3

- Hard-luck stories: 1

That takes explaining, but what it means is that there is a good story behind every MLive Game of the Week tonight. You voters know what you're doing.

The teams with six and seven wins are listed below, and the playoff bubble teams are Holland Christian, Byron Center, Swartz Creek and Unionville-Sebewaing. Bay City All Saints is the hard-luck team that won't quit.

The rivalries? Chelsea/Dexter, Reese/Unionville-Sebewaing and Parma Western/Jackson Northwest just don't like each other much.

And it's those league title games that are likely to produce the best football of all: Chippewa Valley/Macomb Dakota, Portage Central/St. Joseph and Muskegon Mona Shores/Reeths-Puffer.

All those games seem interesting to us.

We had our Week 8 polls for the MLive.com Game of the Week running from last Friday, with the results determining which games would get our top-notch coverage tonight.

We've been plotting our coverage, and we'll have two reporters and a photographer at the poll-winners, and we'll host live blogs and write lots of stories from the games.

- Bay City Times: Ubly (1-6) at Bay City All Saints (0-7). Bay City's pick: All Saints by 1.

We hope you'll join our live game blogs with your questions and comments if you are at the game, or share information if you're at another matchup. You must create an MLive.com account to join the blogs.
